Interesting.
My parents taught me that smoking and littering were signs of ignroance, poor upbringing, lack of education and plain old low class trashiness.
Littering, no doubt.
I seriously doubt your parents taught you that about smoking, unless of course your parents are only about 30 years old. That would make them part of the generation that has been brainwashed by all the anti-smoker hogwash no one can get away from any longer.
Sounds like your parents were ignorant bigots.
Your parents were right about the littering, wrong about the rest of your comment.
So, your parents taught you everything that should be right with the world, except how to spell and accept society for what it is.
Interesting.
